Ingredients

FOR THE SHELLS:
1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Creamed Corn
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Salt
1-2/3 cup Corn Meal
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
FOR THE TOPPINGS (USE WHATEVER YOU PREFER):

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium-sized sauce pan, add creamed corn, water and salt. Heat on medium-high, stir and add corn meal; cook until thick. Add butter and cheese. (I added a bit more water here until I could get it all blended well. Use your discretion.)
2

Drop by heaping tablespoons into a well-greased muffin tin. Press the batter up the sides of each hole using a tart shaper and your fingers.
3

Bake 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and fill individual cups as you please. Top as desired.
